Stuck in Ice

SeaQueen · 11-12-06, 03:32 PM

Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep surface vessels from getting mired in ice? I tried setting Pathfinding On so it would hopefully detect it and drive around it, but apparently Pathfinding doesn't apply to floe ice.

In a submarine just submerge eventualy the wieght will pull it down, if your talking about FFG-7 then once the ice becomes too thick the only way you can get back out is either with an ice breaker or reversing, this in itself is tricky seeing as the ice can wrap around the back end very quick and then your jammed in tight.

pack ice try to avoid it but you can smash it just hit it head on dont hit it using the sides.

I'm thinking SeaQueen is looking for a game solution. Your's sound a bit too real-life.

Hey SQ,

I could use a change of pace... so... grab your favorite Johnny Cash album, relax and unwind, and send me a copy of what you are trying to do and I’ll have a peep.

I guess surface platforms are just useless in areas where some ice can occur.
I haven't seen any mission which does it (correctly) and AFAIK there is nothing stronger than pathfind.
Just make some other mission.

SQ, waypoint around the icefields, you can see them when you use Shift-I IRC in Mission Editor.
